Tuesday, November 28, 2017

New York, November 28, 2017 – Cirque du Soleil is thrilled to announce that its
newest Big Top production VOLTA will begin performances March 29, 2018

director of creation. International electronic composer and musical director
Anthony Gonzalez, brings his space-age future pop sound to the Cirque du Soleil

the jolt of energy delivered through the show.

The show

VOLTA tells a spellbinding story about the freedom
to choose and the thrill of blazing your own trail. Inspired in part by the
adventurous spirit that fuels the culture of action sports, the show weaves the
adrenaline rush of acrobatics into a visually striking world driven by a
stirring melodic score.

VOLTA is a story of transformation. It is about
being true to oneself, fulfilling one’s true potential, and the power of the
group to make that possible. It celebrates freedom as a movement.
